What is Landcare? Sometimes it means volunteering at community native plant nurseries to grow seedlings. 🌱

From collecting seeds to caring for young plants until they're ready to be planted, landcare volunteers are helping to grow the native plants needed by community groups.

Community-run native plant nurseries can boost threatened plant numbers and help protect vulnerable species from threats such as declining genetic diversity.

Inside Landcare Agriculture: Managing Exotic Grasses in Native Grasslands 🌱

What can we learn from the grasslands themselves?

In Tasmania’s Midlands, the Tasmanian Land Conservancy is working with Bush Heritage Australia and the University of Tasmania to tackle one of the threats facing critically endangered lowland native grasslands: exotic perennial grasses.

A PhD student is working with land managers and researchers to test grazing and burning treatments and identify what works, where and when.

The project is investigating why these grasses invade native grasslands and trial different approaches to controlling them, including grazing and burning treatments.

The research will help develop practical, evidence-based guidance for landholders managing these precious landscapes. 🌿

For more than 20 years, the VicTrack and Landcare Australia partnership has supported communities to care for VicTrack land – creating healthier habitats and stronger connections between people and nature.

Across Victoria, landcare groups are working along railway reserves and other VicTrack land to restore habitat, protect threatened species and connect local communities with nature.Through the 2025/26 VicTrack Landcare Grants, six community-led projects delivered practical action on the ground – from removing invasive weeds and revegetating habitat, to monitoring native wildlife and creating new homes for hollow-dependent species.

📍 Bass Coast: W**d removal and revegetation is helping improve habitat for the Southern Brown Bandicoot, while volunteers gained practical restoration skills.

📍 Bellarine Railway corridor: Revegetation is expanding indigenous vegetation and improving habitat connectivity.

📍 Mornington: Groups are protecting endangered ecological communities and the rare Purple Diuris, while working with local schools to build environmental awareness.

📍Great Victorian Rail Trail: Communities monitored frogs, reptiles and threatened species, installed 25 new nesting boxes and monitored another 50, recording species including sugar gliders, ringtail possums and treecreepers.

📍Hidden Valley Rail Reserve: W**d management and planting are creating better habitat for small birds, while volunteers are building their skills in plant identification and hand weeding.

📍Whittlesea: Blackberry control is helping protect threatened grasslands and grassy woodlands that provide habitat for species including the Striped Legless Lizard, Swift Parrot and Golden Sun-moth.

The impact goes beyond what’s happening on the ground, too.

These projects are bringing people together and strengthening partnerships with schools, Scouts, Traditional Owners, landcare groups, local government and community members.

That’s what more than 20 years of partnership can achieve: healthier landscapes, stronger communities and more people taking action for nature with landcare.

Thank you to VicTrack and the landcare groups, volunteers and communities helping make it happen. 💚

What is landcare? Sometimes it means tackling invasive species that threaten landscapes and habitat of native plants and animals. 🌱

Landcarers, farmers and landowners across Australia are working with environment and agriculture NGOs, and government agencies to manage invasive weeds and pests to protect native habitats and productive landscapes.

🌿 Invasive species can have a major impact on local ecosystems, making the work of landcarers who are restoring the natural environment vital for protecting biodiversity. 🐨
